New East Sea songs released

The Vietnam Musicians' Association has released some 80 newly-written
songs about seas and islands, the first volume of the collection
entitled Day Song Bien Dong (Waves Rising in East Sea).

Association
Chairman Do Hong Quan said the group singled out the songs from more
than 100 entries sent by musicians nationwide in response to a campaign
to write works highlighting the nation's sovereignty over its seas and
islands.

“The association continues receiving new compositions
for future volumes and plans to release CDs," Quan said. "The songs
represent the hearts of musicians towards the motherland, and
contributing voices to defend the sovereignty over the seas and
islands."

The first volume of the series features songs about Vietnam's coast guards, fishermen, submarine, naval, and air forces.-VNA
